Emily dives into the conservative civil war sparked by Senator Mike Lee’s now-revoked proposal to sell millions of acres of federal land. What began as an effort to tackle the housing crisis in the American West quickly became a flashpoint in the deeper battle over the soul of the right: Are markets here to serve the people—or the other way around? Emily breaks down the backlash from fellow Republicans, populists, conservationists, and even Don Jr., and explores how this fight exposed a growing rift between libertarian orthodoxy and a rising new conservatism focused on families, sovereignty, and public goods.

Emily unpacks the most significant ideological split in the MAGA movement since its inception: the confrontation over foreign policy and potential U.S. action against Iran. As some MAGA figures defend a hardline “America First” stance rooted in non-interventionism, others appear to embrace a more aggressive posture. Could Trump’s next move fracture MAGA for good?
